Missing March 2025 data in in Monthly Patterns - Foot Traffic (Advan Research)
Hi Dewey Team,
Websites Dropped from Advan Weekly Mobility Starting Partition Week of 2025-02-17
Hey There,
Empty compressed files with Advan
I am working with the Advan cell phone location data. When downloading the data, some of the compressed CSVs are empty (only contain 74 bytes):

Placekey lat/long changing across time? (Advan)
Why does the location of some placekeys change over time? For example, the placekey "224-222@5zb-wwd-4qf" changes coordinates 4 times (and changes states 3 times) between 2019 - 2024.
Discontinuing Advan Patterns with legacy Safegraph POIs?
Hi - I heard from a user that obtains Advan directly (not through dewey) that in February 2025 Advan discontinued the production of the weekly and monthly patterns datasets with legacy usage of Safegraph placekeys. They appear to now be producing Patterns+ which has their new version of a placekey (now called footprint_id) and the Patterns+ data is not linkable to Safegraph Spend, etc. Is Dewey still receiving a version of newly-produced data that has legacy placekeys? Are there any changes to the Advan weekly patterns data that Dewey continues to provide?
Customization options for the Advan Weekly Patterns
Is it possible to unlock customization options for the Advan Weekly Patterns so we can filter the data?
How to understand the difference between raw_visitor_counts data and visitors from different cbgs
I calculated the sum of raw_visitor_counts data for each park in Los Angeles. In addition, I calculated the total number of visitors from different cbgs for each park. I found that although their pearson correlation coefficient is high (0.99), the raw_visitor_counts data is much larger than the total number of visitor_home_cbgs.
